Glyphs

From DDwiki
Jump to: navigation, search

Glyphs are spells located throughout a dungeon that must first be picked up before they can be used. Each glyph occupies a full inventory slot, and otherwise is treated like any other item. The Class: Wizard Wizard, however, treats all glyphs as small items. Glyphs are each worth 100 conversion points, which will grant you a special bonus by destroying them. The result of the conversion is based on their race.

Summary

A glyph's name hints at the spell effect it performs. Some glyphs cost more mana than others to cast and not all are available from the start. Note that the Class: Wizard Wizard and Class: Berserker Berserker classes respectively get a 1 point discount and 2 point penalty to mana costs for their glyphs. As well, God: Mystera Annur Mystera Annur has a boon which will change the cost of various glyphs, raising the cost of some and reducing the cost of others.

  • Unlocked when you unlock the Class: Warlord Warlord class.
Glyph: ENDISWAL ENDISWAL Wall destruction - "End this wall" 6 Destroys a section of wall and grants temporary 20% physical resist against the next attack. This stacks up to your maximum resistance value if used repeatedly.

No experience is granted for the target of the petrification unless they are slowed (in which case you will receive 1 XP). Plants (presuming they are not magic immune) and no-XP monsters are valid targets and you still get the +50% XP bonus. May be cast on a monster-less space to create a wall for 3 mana (does not grant XP bonus).
Glyph: LEMMISI LEMMISI Clairvoyance - "Let me see" 2 Fully reveals 3 random unexplored tiles. Is more likely to reveal tiles that contain monsters, powerups, shops, or glyphs than empty tiles.

Glyph: PISORF PISORF Knockback Monster - "Piss off" 4 Pushes the monster away. If monster is pushed into a wall, deals 60% of your base physical damage and destroys the wall. If monster collides with another monster, deals 50% of base damage to both.

Trait: Slowed Slowed monsters lose many special abilities (including First Strike, Counters Fireball, and Cowardly) and also grant 1 extra bonus XP if slain while slowed. Slowed only expires when the monster is attacked, and you can have as many monsters slowed at a time as you like.
Glyph: WONAFYT WONAFYT Summon Monster - "Wanna fight" 5 Teleports a random monster of the player's level or lower to a random empty tile next to the player (cardinal directions always first) and slows it.
